Eyes of The Lonely Flower

Has anyone ever noticed a fine daisy?

Sitting in its grass,

watching the world go by.

It cannot do anything

but observe—forced to witness

the people argue,

and watch them dance,

going through a rage of

emotions from a mere phone call.

The daisy is so little in our universe,

like an ant under a heavy,

dusty, navy blue carpet

that covers a royal living room—

but still has a vibrant color and warmth

to make a little girl smile

as she walks toward it,

or an elderly woman

who stands there

and reminisce in memories.

The daisy brings highlight to the eyes,

its yellow burning our darkened pupils

with the reflection of the radiant sun.

But the daisy can only sit there

and watch the world.

The daisy has no choice

but to agree to let it get stepped on

by the army of the population,

or get devoured by helpless animals.

No one thinks to care for it.

After all, it's only a daisy.

The daisy is alone at night

with the exception of the chorus of stars.

That's when they can breathe

the crisp air and find serenity.

But who cares about a daisy?

Their nature is nothing compared to

gadgets and gizmos.

Blinded by the season

of modern production,

No one spends any time outside anymore.

It sees the changes in personalities

as civilians walk past.

The storm in one's heart,

who clueless about showing

the fragments of their pale faces

breaking off in public.

The joy in one's soul,

delighted by the squirrels

running around and the leaves

moving to the tree's melody

in springtime.

The daisy will never understand

how to have an emotional

heart of its own,

For it can only sit there

and watch the world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
